Can 2018’s tsunami of DNA data on the origins of human biodiversity help explain the puzzle of why Americans tend to equate “diversity” with Africans, especially West Africans?

Anthropology has always been assumed to have political implications. For example, in Evelyn Waugh’s classic satire on press coverage of the 1930s Italian invasion of Ethiopia, Scoop, the rival Soviet-financed and German-financed Ishmaelite embassies offer competing conceptions of Africans.

The Communist consul espouses an Afrocentric out-of-Africa theory in which blacks are responsible for all of humanity’s accomplishments and thus deserve to take over the Earth.

“As the great negro Karl Marx has so nobly written…” He talked for about twenty minutes. The black-backed, pink-palmed, finlike hands beneath the violet cuffs flapped and slapped. “Who built the Pyramids?” he asked. “Who invented the circulation of the blood?… Africa for the African worker, Europe for the African worker, Asia, Oceania, America, Arctic and Antarctic for the African worker.”

In contrast, at the Fascist embassy:

The door of the suite was opened by a Negro clad in a white silk shirt, buckskin breeches and hunting boots, who clicked his spurs and gave William a Roman salute.

The pseudo-consul offers an in-to-Africa vindication of his supposed ancestors:

“For instance, the Jews of Geneva, subsidized by Russian gold, have spread the story that we are a black race…. As you will see for yourself, we are pure Aryans. In fact we were the first white colonizers of Central Africa. What Stanley and Livingstone did in the last century, our Ishmaelite ancestors did in the stone age. In the course of the years the tropical sun has given to some of us a healthy, in some cases almost a swarthy, tan. But all responsible anthropologists…”

Unlike in the time of Scoop, we are currently experiencing a revolution in our understanding of prehistory due to the sudden explosion in the ability to scan the genomes of ancient skeletons. Can our increasing ability to shed light upon these old disputes about Africans offer some insight into why Americans talk as if 100 percent black were the maximum—and optimum—in diversity?

It doesn't really matter though. The Deep State hate, hate, hates him for either letting Hilary down, or refusing to allow Facebook to become a covert propaganda arm of the state. He's going to be gone from Facebook within a year.

However, those chairs really weren't designed to be sat in the way you are supposed to sit when being grilled during a congressional hearing (upright, leaned forward, etc). The angle is wrong. It's an elegant chair for a more civilized age.

Looking at the picture, I wonder if using that type of cushion isn't common even for normal height people.

What The Nation will not tell you: many French Jews who haven't decided to flee to Israel are now easily found among Le Pen voters. Given what that party was like when her father was in charge, that says a lot about how bad France's Islamism problem has gotten. Having to live with the reality of synagogues and study centers being surrounded by armed guards and walls will radically change voting habits. Le Pen's still in the process of cleaning up the party's image, but it has come a long way from being Jean-Marie and his coterie of Algerian putschists and assorted skinheads.

As Irish Paleo has repeatedly said, European Jews are considered "white" in Europe and vote accordingly. If anything, they are probably considered to be even worse, due to a mixture of reactionary Muslim anti-Semitism and strong dislike from white leftists as being represented in banking, etc. American Jews have been allowed to live in a fantasy land where it is 1952 forever and the main threat comes from the white American petty bourgeoisie. That'll change as mass immigration continues to change our demographics. Even without a massive unassimilated Muslim presence, Hispanics and Asians simply do not have the same over-the-top Judeo-philia that American whites do, and it'll show. Note how sharply support for Israel has fallen among Democrats. 20 years ago, the pro-Palestinian sentiments you see among some Democratic politicians and among the grassroots these days would have been politically unthinkable. Schumer Democrats are a dying breed, and Netanyahu is probably quite aware of that.

(Note that Russian Jews who emigrated to the US in the 1990s often have opinions that would make Steve Bannon blush, so it's a very American Jewish thing. Granted, Russian Jews were very well assimilated into Russian culture by the 1970s. Not that it convinced Brezhnev or Andropov, but still.)

The Nation is a self-aggrandizing exercise for it's editors and readers alike. They offer some perverse argument and they and their readers fancy themselves sophisticated for subscribing to it. The argument is almost invariably a recriminatory one contra one of the magazine's approved bogies.

Americans talk this way because they have been brainwashed by a lifetime of mass-media programming, abetted by institutional propaganda from schools, corporate training, and even churches.

That's pretty much it.

Though i will say that for whites blacks just "seem" more "different" than all other races--hence more "diverse". And that fact is no doubt rooted in the fact that they are indeed more different genetically.

The Communist consul espouses an Afrocentric out-of-Africa theory in which blacks are responsible for all of humanity’s accomplishments and thus deserve to take over the Earth.

This is a great summary of leftwing thought. It’s elevating the most banal accomplishments of blacks to be superhuman achievements. Blacks in turn are very high in self esteem so they lap it up. See https://www.reddit.com/r/plaquesforblacks/

It's an unfortunate situation - there is truth in the claim that blacks as a group are largely unloved by their fellow citizens, which has to really suck for the substantial percentage of black Americans who are just getting through life like most people. The right basically ignores them and the left goes to extreme lengths to extol their virtues, which doesn't really fool anyone but the stupid and the militantly political.

One of the things both Trump and Sanders got right during the 2016 campaign was focusing on addressing people's sense of economic insecurity. I don't think Trump is nimble enough politically to capitalize on it with ordinary black people, but there is an opportunity there with how the economy has been performing. A GOP candidate doesn't have to win a lot of extra black votes, they just have to do well enough that the Dem share drops below 90% and they are in great position. Trump is not going to keep MI or PA in his column without this.

David Reich gets an honorable mention so to speak for writing about the “hot” subject of race in today’s science section of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung by renowned Konstanz evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer: Genetik im Zentrum einer neuen “Rassen” Debatte (Genetics at the Center of a New “Race” Debate).

Axel Meyer is under mild fire in the Geman public for his controversial book: “Adam’s Apfel und Evas Erbe“, in which he makes the case, that there are indeed differences between men and women, and that Judith Butler for example is not always perfectly right.

Axel Meyer is under mild fire in the Geman public for his controversial book: “Adam’s Apfel und Evas Erbe“, in which he makes the case, that there are indeed differences between men and women

I just started going through Reich's book and one thing that surprises me is that his comments about race differences vs. sex differences have not gotten more attention. From page 266:

For me, the natural response to the challenge is to learn from the example of the biological differences that exist between males and females. The differences between the sexes are in fact more profound than those that exist among human populations, reflecting more than a hundred million years of evolution and adaptation. Males and females differ by huge tracts of genetic material—a Y chromosome that males have and that females don’t, and a second X chromosome that females have and males don’t. Most people accept that the biological differences between males and females are profound, and that they contribute to average differences in size and physical strength as well as in temperament and behavior, even if there are questions about the extent to which particular differences are also influenced by social expectations and upbringing (for example, many of the jobs in industry and the professions that women fill in great numbers today had few women in them a century ago). Today we aspire both to recognize that biological differences exist and to accord everyone the same freedoms and opportunities regardless of them. It is clear from the abiding average inequities that persist between women and men that fulfilling these aspirations is a challenge, and yet it is important to accommodate and even embrace the real differences that exist, while at the same time struggling to get to a better place.

Perhaps he successfully inoculated himself against objections about that by placing Chapter 10 "The Genomics of Inequality" right before Chapter 11 "The Genomics of Race and Identity." The excerpt above appears in the latter.

I don’t know squat about “Caucasians” or “Aryans”, or whatever in hell my kinship to them is supposed to be or to imply.

I can sort of “relate”, maybe, to a 10 thousand years old pile of bones dug up from a glacier in, say, Norway. I can imagine some sort of kinship there with my untutored mind’s eye.

I can’t imagine, not with the best will in the world, some sort of kinship with sub-Saharan Blacks. The gap is too damned big. All the Discovery channel specials in the world won’t persuade me of that.

My point? Maybe I don’t have one this early in the morning. But, I’d urge caution and temperance before transforming all this cool DNA stuff into political attitudinizing and policy prescriptions.

The primary reason whites see ‘diversity’ as meaning the promotion of black Africans (especially those of West African heritage) is empathy for a group they recognize to be limited in many ways. The empathy becomes pity. In a rapidly secularizing age moving into a post-Christian ethos, it was very easy for the new morality to become one featuring the uplifting of the pitied non-whites at the expense of the whites you hate and/or see as your big competitor.

Very true. And for the same reason, the Bell Curve (in 1994) seemed to be pointing towards socialism, or at least a more robust protective net for blacks. Odd for a libertarian out of the AEI.

The fact that the US has (and always has had) far more West African citizens has made us unique in the West. We have the problems that come with that population. Europeans have for the most part never appreciated that difference. Which is the most important distinction.

Europe is facing some West African immigration, but still nothing on the level of what the US has.

If this thesis is confirmed, and found to be true, then the implications are truly earth-shaking.

Eight per cent shared DNA is within the first-second cousin/niece-nephew ballpark. This is significant.
The unknown quantity is, if this hypothesis is confirmed, how will the left/establishment deal with the truly profound and shocking implications?

Oh, I disagree! The Sanctimonious White Conservatives and Disingenuous White Liberals just love Blacks. Love them, love them, love them, and the further away the Blacks live, the more they love them.

My prediction is that the American Empire will begin blockading and isolating the African continent within 5 years. The Italians, French, Spaniards and other European nations will begin blockading North Africa.

Some wag mentioned that the Baltic could be Africa’s northern sea if Africans are allowed to continuously infiltrate European nations. The Jews in Israel have said phuck off, we ain’t going to be infiltrated and inundated with Africans, they built a fence and are starting to deport the Africans.

Recent African infiltrators should be sent back to Africa. That includes all Congo Bongo types and Somalians.

Carleton Coon got a lot of things wrong, but given what he had to work with, it’s remarkable how much he got right. For example, as far as I know, he was one of the first people to seriously suggest that modern Europeans were a product of Homo Sap/Neanderthal interbreeding.

Coon also bravely served as an OSS agent in World War Two, worked hard to preserve the cultures of the world’s remaining hunter/gatherer people, and served as a mentor to many younger anthropologists. As a reward, he was forced to spend the last few years of his life defending himself against charges of “racism” and his work and reputation has now been tossed down the progressive memory hole. For a guy who came about as close as anyone in American academia did to being Indiana Jones, it was a pretty rotten turn.

Steve says the Neanderthal admixture was discovered “a few years ago,” I guess referring to the recent DNA findings. But in Coon’s 1939 book The Races of Europe it’s clear he’d figured this out years before from the archeological evidence alone. From the introduction:

At any rate, the main conclusion of this study will be that the present races of Europe are derived from a blend of (A), food-producing peoples from Asia and Africa, of basically Mediterranean racial form, with (B), the descendants of interglacial and glacial food-gatherers, produced in turn by a blending of basic Homo sapiens, related to the remote ancestor of the Mediterraneans, with some non-sapiens species of general Neanderthaloid form. The actions and interactions of environment, selection, migration, and human culture upon the various entities within this amalgam, have produced the white race in its present complexity.

It doesn’t really matter though. The Deep State hate, hate, hates him for either letting Hilary down, or refusing to allow Facebook to become a covert propaganda arm of the state. He’s going to be gone from Facebook within a year.

Ok, on topic. If we ask “Why diversity?” it goes back to Frankfurt School, Hart Celler, Rosa Parks, etc. And why does diversity = black? There has always been a big Jewish connection with blacks. They have been their shock troops, basically.

If you take the view seemingly of people like Yglesias, whites are evidently their biggest threat. I don’t, but obviously they seem to think this is the case. And so, blacks are useful for a few different reasons. They are low IQ, violent, and animated. They like agitating and are good at it. They can be very confrontational. See Bernie Sanders and the podium BLM confrontation for an example.

If you discount East Asia, mix whites and blacks and in theory you get an IQ 90 population that poses no threat of pogroms to Jews. This time, the Messiah has truly come, really! There are not too many races in proximity and numbers to be able to mix with whites and get a substantial decrease in IQ like that. Who else are you going to use? Australian aborigines? Pygmies? So I think that’s part of it.

The other part is white guilt, and how to take advantage of it. Slavery is like the Holocaust for blacks. Really it’s pretty laughable because all the black tards in the USA now are living really kickass lives. That, and the fact that white slavery has also existed and still exists to some extent in MENA, and heck in Rotherham and Telford and likely anywhere else there are Pakistani Muslims. The point of this is that blacks can provoke white guilt, and they are primed to agitate to get gibsmedats from whites and general self-hating behavior. Amerinds aren’t nearly as useful for this purpose, they are a more stoic people. And Mexicans don’t care really. Politically they are apathetic, and about the best political theater they can come up with is that they DREAM. Whatever.

The obsession with overall genetic diversity always misses the important point.

What we care about, in populations of human beings, and, typically, in other kinds of animals, is not overall genetic diversity among them. That kind of overall genetic diversity mostly is of “neutral” genes, and merely tracks length of separation between groups.

What we care about are the differences in traits among these populations, and the genes that differentiate along those traits.

If the various groups occupy roughly similar ecologies — which in human beings is critically dependent on the culture of the group — then the traits, and the genes supporting them, will be similar even if the populations have been long separated.

And that’s the thing about all of SubSaharan Africa, and for all of its history: the cultures have themselves never been developed as have the cultures of virtually every other population in the world (excepting some of the hunter gatherer or primitive agricultural groups which persisted, such as in Australia).

One often hears of the failure of SubSaharan Africans to build a significant culture as a sign that their average cognitive abilities are below those of other races. But it is more importantly, I think, a cause of that lower distribution of abilities.

For all their genetic diversity and separation, their ecologies have been too similar for them to claim much by way of distinctness from each other — though perhaps the Pygmies, say, really are at a much lower level of social development than the rest.

I’ve been told that all humans originated in a warm climate as our skin temperature and lack of fur would indicate. So Neanderthals and Denisovans must have originated in Africa or SE Asia as there are no other climates in the last million or so years that would serve as ‘habitat’ for a ‘naked ape’.
Yet there does not appear to be any of this archaic DNA in the modern negro that wasn’t added in more modern times.

Would this not indicate Neanderthals and Denisovans arose independently of and much earlier than out of African humans?

Another theory is that our animal ancestors were covered with hair or fur.

Once we invented clothes we lost the hair. But the people of cold sleety and rainy Tierra del Feuego don’t wear clothes.

Early Canadians and American European settlers noted that the Huron
And Iroquois didn’t wear much clothes but ran around in the cold snowy winters in just shoes,leather not fur jackets, knee length skirts for women loincloth for men and no leg or head coverings. So primitive people adapted to cold weather and skimpy clothes.

Frankfurt school and other early 20th century pro non White anthropologists claimed that Whites pale skin and hairiness proved we are the last evolved humans from animals

The idea was that Asians, American Indians and Africans have the least hair and darkest skin. Animals have white skin and are. Oversee with hair and fur.

Therefore Whites are the closest to animals and the last to evolve from animals. And Asians Africans and American Indians evolved from animals long before Whites.

Of course that theory is about as valid as th idea that Neanderthals came from Africa.

The entire out of Africa theory was created out of bogus research by a SjW woman researcher using bogus material at the formerly communist revolutionary now anti White racist University of California at Berkeley.

There was not one actual African sample used. They were all African American samples for one thing.

Out of Africa theory is as bogus as the fiction that the purely Greek Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt was sub Saharan black Africans.

There are many theories about how humans evolved from animals. None come anywhere near being proved.

Steve, I agree with you about 99.9% of the time, but in my opinion here you’re greatly exaggerating the degree to which fine-grained details in population genetics affect and will affect how people think about racial groups with regard to daily life. I don’t think that knowing that blacks and whites and Asians have different archaic genes will change how people in America view each other.

When the details of the genetic basis of racial differences in behavior and ability have been worked out, that might do some damage to the idiotic “race does not exist” narrative and other related and similarly idiotic Boasian narratives. However, those narratives have never had a factual basis, and additional evidence against them will not shake the irrational faith that some people have in them.

All this mounting evidence implies that African-Americans indeed might be genetically more diverse than their many rivals in the diversity business.

Operative word: business

Every conspiracy is hoisted on this stuff.
Here’s four elements of reading material: Hobbes’ Leviathan, Holmes’ The Common Law, the United States Constitution, and Mao’s Red Book. If you want to go back further – start with Plato’s dialogues.

We don’t need a Jewish Zionist conspiracy, or the Frankfurt School, or Postmodernists. What Hobbes picks up on is that what later came to be called Maoism was fully present in Civil War England – it’s a dark expression of our humanity. English Common Law and the American Constitution are remedies – possibly remedies that require some shoring up and revamping for drug-resistant strains of Maoism.

Anyway – you can cure Postmodernism or the Frankfurt School, and you’d still have the Maoism.

Why? One reason goes back to Plato – it’s sophistry nihilists will always use as a means to power.

Another reason is the reason the right won’t look square in the eye: capitalism, the concentration of wealth, and the distribution of income (prosperity), combined with a highly productive economy that doesn’t need 160 million people to work 40 hour weeks to function.

So people make up work.

And there’s a demand for guilt. A huge demand, turns out. You can cure all the other problems and if you don’t cure that demand – say with better economic distribution … you’ll get nowhere.

Walter Mondale just wrote an opinion piece in the NY Times where he praises the 1968 anti-White legislation called the Fair Housing Act. Mondale is an asshole of the first rank. Mondale thinks it’s a good idea to use legislation to plop down clumps of Blacks in every White neighborhood in order to tyrannically install his beloved “integration.” This geezer motherphucka Mondale wants a “more integrated nation.”

Where does Wally Mondale live, and what is the demography of Wally’s town or neighborhood?

Do some of the Norwegian nutcakes in Minnesota now realize that Wally Mondale was full of shit when he was talking about how wonderful the Blacks are? I bet there are a lot of Norwegians in Minnesota moving away from the Somalians.

Africa is the home continent of the Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party is made up of Blacks, Mestizos, Jews, Asians, White government workers and other White wackos.

The Republican Party wins when it implicitly appeals to Whites as Whites. It is now time for the Republican Party to explicitly appeal to Whites as Whites.

White Core Americans have interests that must be represented, and if the GOP won’t represent White interests than another political party will have to kill the GOP and begin explicitly representing White interests.

As for 100% black being 100% diverse, “diverse” was always a code word for melanin. It’s a very old borrowing, deliberately turned on its head to redefine invaders (invited and otherwise) as victims.

diversity,n. mid-14c., “quality of being diverse, fact of difference between two or more things or kinds; variety; separateness; that in which two or more things differ,” mostly in a neutral sense, from Old French diversité (12c.) “difference, diversity, unique feature, oddness:” also “wickedness, perversity,” from Latin diversitatem (nominative diversitas) “contrariety, contradiction, disagreement;” also, as a secondary sense, “difference, diversity,” from diversus “turned different ways” (in Late Latin “various”), past participle of divertere (see divert).

A negative meaning, “being contrary to what is agreeable or right; perversity, evil” existed in English from late 15c. but was obsolete from 17c.

Would this not indicate Neanderthals and Denisovans arose independently of and much earlier than out of African humans?

We know Neanderthals did originate about 500,000 years before Homo sapiens and they come out of Africa. They are descendants of the same hominids which eventually spawned Homo sapiens.

This is a huge aspect of black culture that is under discussed because, having proven it could work on the blacks, they're introducing it to whites. The reason they're ga ga about the movies Scarface and the Godfather (I & II) is they see them as docudramas with greater historical veracity than any book.

Perhaps he successfully inoculated himself against objections about that by placing Chapter 10 "The Genomics of Inequality" right before Chapter 11 "The Genomics of Race and Identity." The excerpt above appears in the latter.

Axel Meyer seemed to know pretty well, why he emphasised race, when talking about David Reich’s new book. – Turns out Meyer is actually working at Harvard.

When I read about Reich and Harpending and Cochran, these lines from Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up In Blue echoed in my head:

I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin’ on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue
So now I’m goin’ back again
I got to get to her somehow
All the people we used to know
They’re an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters’ wivesDon’t know how it all got started
I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their lives
But me, I’m still on the road
Headin’ for another jointWe always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point
Of view
Tangled up in blue

This Montague here – sounds a lot like Ashley Montagu, too, doesn’t he?
If this would make any (even a remote bit) of sense, then the rest of the song can be read as a comment about progress and it’s discontents: Slave-trade/ souls lost/ Women frosty/ Mathematicians rule as the knights of progress as do – – carpenter’s wifes (lots of meaning in this one…)

In summa: Modern life is complicated, the weary singer is unable to figure all that stuff out, but he knows that what matter’s most is: To keep on/ keepin’ on// Like a bird that flew // …

This is a huge aspect of black culture that is under discussed because, having proven it could work on the blacks, they’re introducing it to whites. The reason they’re ga ga about the movies Scarface and the Godfather (I & II) is they see them as docudramas with greater historical veracity than any book.

The Nation is a self-aggrandizing exercise for it’s editors and readers alike. They offer some perverse argument and they and their readers fancy themselves sophisticated for subscribing to it. The argument is almost invariably a recriminatory one contra one of the magazine’s approved bogies.

I've been told that all humans originated in a warm climate as our skin temperature and lack of fur would indicate. So Neanderthals and Denisovans must have originated in Africa or SE Asia as there are no other climates in the last million or so years that would serve as 'habitat' for a 'naked ape'.Yet there does not appear to be any of this archaic DNA in the modern negro that wasn't added in more modern times.

Would this not indicate Neanderthals and Denisovans arose independently of and much earlier than out of African humans?

Another theory is that our animal ancestors were covered with hair or fur.

Once we invented clothes we lost the hair. But the people of cold sleety and rainy Tierra del Feuego don’t wear clothes.

Early Canadians and American European settlers noted that the Huron
And Iroquois didn’t wear much clothes but ran around in the cold snowy winters in just shoes,leather not fur jackets, knee length skirts for women loincloth for men and no leg or head coverings. So primitive people adapted to cold weather and skimpy clothes.

Frankfurt school and other early 20th century pro non White anthropologists claimed that Whites pale skin and hairiness proved we are the last evolved humans from animals

The idea was that Asians, American Indians and Africans have the least hair and darkest skin. Animals have white skin and are. Oversee with hair and fur.

Therefore Whites are the closest to animals and the last to evolve from animals. And Asians Africans and American Indians evolved from animals long before Whites.

Of course that theory is about as valid as th idea that Neanderthals came from Africa.

The entire out of Africa theory was created out of bogus research by a SjW woman researcher using bogus material at the formerly communist revolutionary now anti White racist University of California at Berkeley.

There was not one actual African sample used. They were all African American samples for one thing.

Out of Africa theory is as bogus as the fiction that the purely Greek Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt was sub Saharan black Africans.

There are many theories about how humans evolved from animals. None come anywhere near being proved.

The primary reason whites see 'diversity' as meaning the promotion of black Africans (especially those of West African heritage) is empathy for a group they recognize to be limited in many ways. The empathy becomes pity. In a rapidly secularizing age moving into a post-Christian ethos, it was very easy for the new morality to become one featuring the uplifting of the pitied non-whites at the expense of the whites you hate and/or see as your big competitor.

Very true. And for the same reason, the Bell Curve (in 1994) seemed to be pointing towards socialism, or at least a more robust protective net for blacks. Odd for a libertarian out of the AEI.

The fact that the US has (and always has had) far more West African citizens has made us unique in the West. We have the problems that come with that population. Europeans have for the most part never appreciated that difference. Which is the most important distinction.

Europe is facing some West African immigration, but still nothing on the level of what the US has.

David Reich gets an honorable mention so to speak for writing about the "hot" subject of race in today's science section of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung by renowned Konstanz evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer: Genetik im Zentrum einer neuen "Rassen" Debatte (Genetics at the Center of a New "Race" Debate).

Axel Meyer is under mild fire in the Geman public for his controversial book: "Adam's Apfel und Evas Erbe", in which he makes the case, that there are indeed differences between men and women, and that Judith Butler for example is not always perfectly right.

By the way, whatever happened to Thilo Sarrazin? Was he shunned completely?

Thilo Sarrazin is part of an intellectual movement now, (he even answers yours truly's mails at times...) and they brought forward the "Common Declaration of 2018" these days:

With a growing estrangement we realise, that Germany is being violated illegal mass-immigration. We therefor stand in solidarity with those, who peacefully demonstrate, so that law and order at the borders of our nation shall be reinforced.

Over 130 000 Germans have now signed this Declartion, which means, that it can be brought into the German parliament and read there aloud and even be explained during a regular parlamentiary session by a spokesperson.

Btw. - Sarrazin is in the top five of a widely respected sociological survey of the most important German intellectuals (the criteria being quotations, mentionings in the press..), and he is now - by far - the most successful author of non-fiction German books - if only after Adolf Hitler, as I have to admit... - -sigh!

But nevertheless!

He writes regularly on Die Achse des Guten (online for free) and in the right wing liberal Swiss weekly Die Weltwoche.His articles there are relatively short, rare (1X/month apr.) and stuffed with insights. If somebody'd read only Sarrazins little Achse = Weltwoche articles, he'd still know almost all of relevance, that there is to be known about German politics.

PSI'd assume, that he was the first publicly known intellectual on the European continent, who made proper use of Herrnstein/Murray's The Bell Curve.

Carleton Coon got a lot of things wrong, but given what he had to work with, it's remarkable how much he got right. For example, as far as I know, he was one of the first people to seriously suggest that modern Europeans were a product of Homo Sap/Neanderthal interbreeding.

Coon also bravely served as an OSS agent in World War Two, worked hard to preserve the cultures of the world's remaining hunter/gatherer people, and served as a mentor to many younger anthropologists. As a reward, he was forced to spend the last few years of his life defending himself against charges of "racism" and his work and reputation has now been tossed down the progressive memory hole. For a guy who came about as close as anyone in American academia did to being Indiana Jones, it was a pretty rotten turn.

Steve says the Neanderthal admixture was discovered “a few years ago,” I guess referring to the recent DNA findings. But in Coon’s 1939 book The Races of Europe it’s clear he’d figured this out years before from the archeological evidence alone. From the introduction:

At any rate, the main conclusion of this study will be that the present races of Europe are derived from a blend of (A), food-producing peoples from Asia and Africa, of basically Mediterranean racial form, with (B), the descendants of interglacial and glacial food-gatherers, produced in turn by a blending of basic Homo sapiens, related to the remote ancestor of the Mediterraneans, with some non-sapiens species of general Neanderthaloid form. The actions and interactions of environment, selection, migration, and human culture upon the various entities within this amalgam, have produced the white race in its present complexity.

The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.

Payments are not tax deductible.

Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.

Fifth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Sixth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphoneapp (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service. Here’s how to do it.

Here's the thing, Achmed. I really don't disagree with you about much of anything. I would also like to see women marry and have children earlier, for this simple reason: you don't actually know how many children you want until you have had at least one. Delayed childbearing doesn't actually p...
